Visitors

We welcome everybody who has an interest with string instruments and bows - makers, dealers, collectors, investors, students, musicians and those people who simply enjoy classical music.

Visitors can enter on both days completely free of charge.

For Musicians

You will be able to try a diverse selection of instruments and bows to suit every level and every budget. You can also discuss your individual needs with many leading dealerships and contemporary makers.

This is a rare exhibition in that you will be able to speak directly with people that you would most definitely not have gathered in the same room at any other time. The Amati Exhibition has been put together for exactly this reason: to bring a highly sociable and enjoyable event to the industry where everybody with a similar interest can meet and share their knowledge and experiences.

"Last night @RobyLakatos was mind blowingly amazing. His music filled me with energy and love for life! #violinhero"

Tamsin Waley-Cohen, violinist

"The Amati Exhibition was a fantastic occasion full of classy people and a huge amount of seriously stunning instruments."

Michael Petrov, Cellist

"London sale week is such a sociable week and rather than people meeting behind closed doors I wanted to give people an opportunity to showcase their instruments and bows in a beautiful setting. I am delighted with the success and interest and would like to thank all exhibitors who have made this possible."

Sarah Buchanan, Amati Director

For Students

We invite and encourage schools to join us at the exhibition. This is an exclusive possibility for students both to display their work alongside some of the greatest makers, but also to meet and discuss a similar interest with people from the industry. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere and make the most of speaking to established makers.

"It was a really good opportunity to have the best quality instruments in your hands and to have the time to get a closer look as well as to really examine the instruments. It was an exceptional experience to listen to the Strad Archinto cello. Even as a student I felt really welcome to look at the instruments."

Kira Hasche, Newark School Student

"I really enjoyed handling some of the most famous instruments like the Archinto cello. We were treated like everybody else which is not always the case when you are a student. It was a great experience to meet so many nice people in one place. Thanks to Amati!"

Robert Stepp, Newark School Student

Information for Exhibitors

The Langham’s Grand Ballroom provides an elegant and highly convenient central London space to display your instruments, bows and string accessories. Our event attracts musicians, investors, collectors and those with an appreciation for classcal music from around the world. The Amati Exhibition is organised by people that have years of experience in the stringed industry and who understand beautiful instruments and bows need to be shown off.

We are pleased to have built up a regular list of exhibitors who come from the UK, US, Europe and Japan. We hope they remain and new exhibitors become part of the exhibition as it continues to grow from strength to strength.

The Langham is one of London’s most beautiful and exclusive hotels and as we discovered last March continuously offer exceptional client care to our exhibitors, visitors and us. We arrange accommodation deals for our exhibitors meaning you can congenially be on site and have access to all the hotel facilities. You may wish to meet your own client’s in their infamous cocktail bar or eat in the superb Roux at the Landau restaurant.

"There are not many arenas in which prominent dealers and stringed instrument specialists can come together in one place in the same way that, say, instrument makers might. You might think that due to "competition" they may be a bit nervous, or not get along. But I found the experience quite the opposite, and apart from making new acquaintances and meeting old friends, I enjoyed seeing how other people worked and what they had to offer. Everyone in this business loves violins, and the opportunity to see a few more - and some extremely fine ones - is never a hardship!"
